Where does Yangcheng Lake eat crabs? Where does Yangcheng Lake eat crabs?

Yangcheng Lake is not only a picturesque tourist attraction, but also a world-famous "crab eating" holy place. Focusing on people's needs of "tasting crabs and seeing scenery", the local transportation is convenient and the catering tourism industry is unprecedentedly developed. Asi Crab Village, located on the bank of Yangcheng Lake in bacheng town, is famous for "eating crabs and going to Yasi Crab Village in bacheng town". Every year from January to September, the autumn wind starts and the crab's feet itch. People who come to the crab farm to eat crabs are so busy that they can block the whole road. The farmer's boat banquet and authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in Asi Crab Village make many people fascinated and curious: How did such high-quality hairy crabs come from?

At the beginning of June, in order to arrange the tourist season of Yangcheng Lake "Pinxie" three months later, the author started from Shanghai, took the "Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway", went to Asi Crab Village to "step on the spot", crossed Kunshan Kouzi for 5 kilometers, and then turned to S5 Ring Expressway, heading for Taicang Bacheng. It took at most ten minutes to get under the mouth of Bacheng, turn right all the way to Hubin Road, cross the gate of Crab House and walk 200 meters, then come in from the entrance 6.

The old fisherman's word of mouth: "If you want to eat crabs, go to Yasi Crab Village in Bacheng."

"This is the saying that everyone is patronizing. It is our duty for us to do things according to our conscience. " A Si, the "big boss" of A Si Crab Village, said.

A Si is 53 years old, with a weather-beaten face and simple and honest. At first glance, he looks like an old fisherman. When the author mentioned the reputation of "eating crabs and going to a crab village in Bacheng", he seemed a little uneasy and thought it was all a "false name". But in fact, it is precisely because of his attitude of being a man and doing things that people trust for no reason.

When the author suggested that it was best to supply a batch of hairy crabs in August, A Si simply refused.

"We always insist on' three don't sell'. First, we won't sell the crab until we catch it. Hairy crabs have a unified fishing time, usually in mid-September. Before that, we didn't sell crabs. Second, don't oversell. Our hairy crabs are all raised by ourselves. A dozen relatives have raised more than 260 mu together, which is not very big. Catch once, sell out, catch again. You can't have it indefinitely. The third is not to sell OEM. Many local and foreign businessmen came to us and said that they didn't need to find crabs, but only gave them in the name of Axi Crab Farm. We resolutely refused. " A Si introduced his principle.

Obviously, A Si's principle is a bit "silly". For many businesses, selling first and catching later can make a lot of money by using the psychology of diners "eating first"; "Unlimited sale" can receive more tourists and earn more money; And "selling OEM" is a "good deal" without profit. Why doesn't A Si do this?

"That would be a loss of confidence and a bad reputation!" Ah Si said.

It is precisely because of this "silly" insistence that the phrase "If you want to eat crabs, go to Yasi Crab Farm in Bacheng" spread like wildfire many years ago. Every year, from the end of June, the number of appointment calls from all over the country began to flow. Gourmets in Shanghai and Hangzhou, in particular, even set a specific time and number of people three months in advance.

A Si doesn't know what "word-of-mouth marketing" is, but he won the supreme word-of-mouth with his principles.

Hairy crabs are not profiteering, which makes tourists feel good.

Axi Crab Villa has more than ten private rooms and three halls. The business area reaches 800 square meters and the decoration is simple. But among thousands of hotels in Bacheng, it can only be regarded as mid-range. There is nothing comparable to such a big-name "Gao Da Shang" decoration. Don't want to spend money because of tight funds, or do you want to save trouble?

"Neither!" Zhu Xiao, the "little master" of Asi Crab Village, told the author, "My old man's idea is very' real', saying that tourists come to our place to eat hairy crabs, and it is most important to have a good mood, affordable food and good service." Indeed, there are no so-called "sky-high" dishes and "luxury" packages in Axi Crab Village, only farm dishes and fishermen's banquets in Yangcheng Lake. The protagonist is a pair of authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, with red shells and white bellies and golden hooks in bamboo cages. When they are accompanied by steaming fresh fragrance, they can always cause a "commotion". Diners can't wait to break their legs, peel their umbilicus and suck cream yellow, and they are intoxicated with the pleasure of tasting "beautiful jade is full" in the face of lakes and mountains.

What makes diners unforgettable is that the price and the weight of dishes in Axi Crab Restaurant are always much more affordable than those in "luxury" hotels, but the hygiene and service are not inferior. As for explaining the historical allusions of Yangcheng Lake and introducing the knowledge about the growth and reproduction of hairy crabs for free, most hotels simply can't do it. One is "uneconomical", and the other is that there is no staff, but there is no difficulty in Asi Crab Village.

"My old man stayed at the edge of Yangcheng Lake all his life to raise crabs. No one knows the ancient and modern stories of Yangcheng Lake and the knowledge of raising crabs better than him. Visitors who come here to eat crabs call him the' walking dictionary' of Yangcheng Lake. For foreign tourists, we will not only introduce the allusions of Yangcheng Lake, but also recommend the scenic spots around Yangcheng Lake to help plan the travel time. Most professional tour guides don't know these things and can't say them. " Zhu Xiao told the author.

From the introduction of A Sihe, the author has a new understanding of A Sihe Crab Village: A Sihe Crab Village is not only a gourmet resort that wants to eat crabs and go to A Sihe Crab Village in Bacheng, but also a "tourist resort" in Yangcheng Lake that wins by price and service. Perhaps this is the world-famous "ultimate secret" of A Si Crab Village.
